THE inaugural Maleny Farm Fest was held on Saturday, November 22, and proved to be a very successful event for both producers and the wider community.
Locals and visitors to the region were out in force to embrace the opportunity to showcase the rich and diverse agricultural life of Maleny and the Hinterland.
“It certainly was the place for those working in agriculture and those who enjoy its products every day to come together, learn, and celebrate the value of farming,” said Dr Theresa Craig from the Maleny Show Society.
With 27 speakers, nearly 90 exhibitors and vendors and estimates of 1500 people attended the free event, and the concept was very well received by all. Plans are already underway for the 2026 event. A huge thank you to all who attended and supported this new event in Maleny, showing how our community are keen to “Educate, Empower and Equip” themselves when it comes to Agriculture in our region.
